Boston Celtics eliminated from the playoffs

The Milwaukee Bucks beat the Boston Celtics to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals

After a turbulent regular season, the Boston Celtics last night saw their 18/19 season come to an end. The Celtics suffered a 116-91 loss at the hands of the Bucks, and at no point in the game did Brad Stevens' team look like pulling off a comeback. In response to their semi-final exit, Stevens blamed himself during the post-match press conference:

"I'll be the first to say that this, as far as any other year I've been a head coach, it's certainly been the most trying. I think I've done -- I did a bad job. At the end of the day, as a coach, if your team doesn't find its best fit together, that's on you."

Following their exit, the Celtics face an uncertain future, with Kyrie Irving likely to leave in free agency.
